D2: Justify the Choice of Animation Technique for Frame Rate and Duration


D2: Justify the Choice of Animation Technique for Frame Rate and Duration

 

                                             
                                               This is my completed Club Europe animation.
 

 

To sum up, I used Adobe Illustrator to draw/illustrate my 2D vector graphics for the animation. I used the pen tool, paint bucket tool, layers and eyedropper tool to create these. I saved these in my Adobe Creative Cloud and I copy and pasted them into my animation that I created in Adobe Animate.

 

 I used lots of key frames and tweened it to make the animation look smooth. I used the text tool to write any text and I changed the attributes of the text in the text object panel. I also used the alpha effect a lot to create fade ins and outs. I know that the average frame rate in 24fps and I tried to stick to this during my animation. The fade in and out helps the animation gradually move to the next scene without being abrupt. I did however struggle a little with the 24fps rule so this is something I would like to improve on if I do animate again. 


Here you can see me editing my voiceovers. I placed my audio into Adobe Audition. First, I would delete the excess audio that I didn't need. I then used the Denoise option to remove the background noise from all of the audio. This left me with just my voice which is what I was trying to achieve. I would then use the parametric equaliser to lower any boomy parts of the audio. I wanted my audio to be clear so everyone can understand what information is being given to them.

The time limit for our animation was a minimum of two minutes. However, I went over this time limit and my animation is 4 minutes 8 seconds. This is still very short for an informational video; as long as all the information is conveyed, the animation achieves its purpose. I used 2D animation to create my animation because this type of animation is easy to look at and understand. I want my audience to be able to understand what the animation is trying to tell them so this is the best animation technique for an informational animation. I used 24 FPS because that is the standard FPS for TV and moving media. I would love for my animation to be on TV and on video websites, so this achieves the required fps (frames per second) for this. 24/25 FPS is an acceptable frame rate for media in the UK and Europe (Spain, France...) however, in America they use 30 FPS as their standard. This is only because America have higher electrical frequencies. FPS refers to how many frames there is in a second of footage. Both 24 and 30 FPS is suitable for social media and live streaming.

P6: Working to Deadlines and Editing

        P6: Working to Deadlines and Editing The voiceovers help to bring the animation to life; I edited the voiceovers in Adobe Audition. I did this by using the denoise and parametric equalizer effects. Denoise got rid of the unneccesary background noise and the parametric equalizer make the audio sound more level and make the voiceover sound a little less boomy in some places. I deleted the beginning and the end of the audio if it had no voiceover. I then exported imported the audio into the animation. I created the animation scenes based on how long the voiceovers were since they are a very important part of my informational Club Europe animation. This helps the audio and animation flow simultaneously and creates a nice, consistant pace. At the end I had to delete the voiceovers from the Adobe Animate file since it sounded static like and screechy. I exported my animation and placed this into Adobe Premiere Pro where I imported the audio in, this ...
